--- NEW FILE ---
Issues that are pending or could use attention
Last update: Apr 28 2003

Please feel free to pick an item to work on, discuss
on mailing list, and/or add stuff to this list

=============================
Features:

* The install_initd, remove_initd functionality is not implemented.

* There are a number of non-LSB shared libraries in the distribution.
  Is this appropriate, or should attention be paid to trying to trim
  this down?  The programs in the si do not themselves claim to
  be LSB conforming at this time...

* textutils has 50+ i18n failures.  Check new release (see coreutils),
  if not fixed, try to push fixes upstream

=============================
Architecture Porting:

* ppc32 port still has significant problems on the lsb_runtime_test

* ia64 port seems to be having trouble with pam (note there are
  no pam tests yet in lsb_runtime_test)

* s390 port is in progress

* s390x, ppc64 are approved specs and need porting

* AMD64 is in the pipeline

=============================
Build Tool:

* nALFS 1.1.7 at least is available (we are using "020310")
  Tests with nALFS 1.1.2 did not run our current profile
  (note that we patch nALFS); should see what's required
  to port and/or push our changes upstream

* There's also an alternative tool available, the maintainer
  is porting the profile to that tool

==============================
Package uplift:

* coreutils-5.0 is released (April 2, 2003)
  supersedes fileutils-4.1, sh-utils 2.0, textutils 2.1

* glibc-2.3 is in wider use now - consider it?

* is bin86 needed at all?

* console-tool instead of kbd?

* shadow is ancient, but current versions fail one test
  Could a simple patch take care of that?
